[PATCH][revised] PR debug/53453 ensure debug notes linked on darwin

   The attached patch solves PR53453. The upcoming dsymutil release will now issue
a warning when no debug notes are emitted for an object file on linkage. This causes
several thousand failures in the FSF gcc testsuite. The origin of this problem is
that the darwin linker requires the presence of both AT_name and AT_comp_dir attributes
for each object file otherwise their debug notes will be omitted on linkage. The 
patch adds a new TARGET_FORCE_AT_COMP_DIR target hook for darwin so that AT_comp_dir 
will be present for all object files. Bootstrap and regression tested on x86_64-apple-darwin12.

Okay for gcc trunk and later gcc-4_7-branch and gcc-4_6-branch?

ps Note that this is a pre-existing problem on darwin and that the newer dsymutil simply
has alerted us to the issue.
pps Added correction of s/AT_comp_dir/DW_AT_comp_dir/g to gcc/target.def change.
